[Kridsada Sirichaisit]

The topic discussion in seminar 4 (ICMR’s Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance system (i-AMRSS): a promising tool for global antimicrobial resistance surveillance) are

1. What is the essential feature that can improve i-AMRSS surveillance performance?
1.1 Medical informatics aspect
1.2 Epidemiology aspect
1.3 Clinician aspect
2. What is the best AMR surveillance system in your experience ?

[Saravalee Suphakarn]

According to the topic of AMR surveillance system in animal on the floor, Department of Livestock Development (DLD) of Thailand participated to develop Thailand’s National Strategic Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2017-2021 which had the collaboration between many stakeholders including DLD, MOPH and international organization like FAO, WHO, and OIE. DLD plan and implement the projects about AMR under the responsible of Division of Animal Feed and Veterinary Products Control (AFVC). They have the projects for surveillance and monitoring of AMR and AMU in livestock. One of the projects under this strategies plan is about the development of “The Animal Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring Information System (AARMIS)”. I can’t access more data for the progression of this project, but I think it very interesting for future sharing the AMR data between human health sector and animal sector.

In my experience, “WHONET” is best AMR surveillance system and use worldwide. If you are interesting this system, you can see more detail as link.

WHONET is a free desktop Windows application for the management and analysis of microbiology laboratory data with a particular focus on antimicrobial resistance surveillance developed and supported by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. WHONET, available in 28 languages, supports local, national, regional, and global surveillance efforts in over 2,300 hospital, public health, animal health, and food laboratories in over 130 countries worldwide.

The comprehensive dashboard in the i-AMRSS is an essential feature that enables all 3 levels of administration a better decision making concerning anti-microbial resistance.

[Naphat]

I had no experience with the AMR surveillance system before. Based on listening to your seminar, I think that in developing a better surveillance system, all of 3 essential features that can improve i-AMRSS surveillance performance are equally.
